Disp fx of coracoid pro, r shldr, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process on the right shoulder that is no longer in its anatomical position (displaced). The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right coracoid process fracture is experiencing delayed union or nonunion. It indicates ongoing management for a fracture that is not progressing to healing at the anticipated rate.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" or "nonunion" for the right coracoid fracture.
• Verify the fracture is indeed displaced; if not, a different code for an undisplaced fracture would be more appropriate.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
